Macca Cocktail

This is a pink cocktail, perfect for summer drinking. If you prefer your cocktails to be on the dry side rather than sweeter, use only the dry vermouth; or replace the creme de cassis with creme de mure, which tends to be less sugary.

INGREDIENTS:

• 20ml (2/3 oz) dry gin
• 20ml (2/3 oz) dry vermouth
• 20ml (2/3 oz) sweet vermouth
• Dash creme de cassis
• Soda water to fill

EQUIPMENT:

• Mixing glass
• Bar spoon
• Highball glass

MIXING METHOD:

Pour all the ingredients except the soda into the mixing glass. Stir. Pour into a highball filled with ice and top with soda.
